Author	Topic: Films and Whatnot!
lostladyknight Moderator	posted 03-06-2012 12:06 PM So, I know this is a terribly random question and I shouldn't be making a whole NEW thread for it. But I did... so, so be it! I figure we can use this thread to discuss films and all that jazz as well. If you have a question about one or if you simply want to talk about how much you loved/hated a certain movie, share it here. I went to see The Lorax with my hubby and kids over the weekend (loved it by the way) and saw a preview for a movie called Mirror Mirror starring Julia Roberts. Now, as far as I can tell it has absolutely NOTHING to do with GM's book. But, it did remind me of it enough. (Granted, I read it years ago.) And when the preview was over and the title of the film was stated... I couldn't help but wonder if it had anything to do with GM. Now, it looks like it doesn't. But, I'm still really stoked about the movie. And, was wondering if anyone else had heard anything about it. IP: Logged
LadyGlindaThropp Junior Member	posted 03-06-2012 01:06 PM Yes.... I wondered about that too. No that film has nothing to do with Maguire's novel.... Though I was tempted to believe it did. One of my favourite films is called Chocolat (1999) based on the novel by Joanne Harris. Starring Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp. I love it so much.... But then again it's probably because of my obsession with all things magical.... ------------------ "One never learns how the Witch became Wicked." IP: Logged

Pfanee Member	posted 03-07-2012 11:35 PM Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street BEST MOVIE EVER!!! Except that Johnny Depp can't sing. But his acting is amazing! As is Alan Rickman's. I realize it was made several years ago... But it's still fantagious. I was bored the other day, so I took this quiz online that was like "What Sweeney Todd song is your theme song?" and I got... "Epiphany". What the crap? So I took another similar quiz and got the same result. And there were one or two other quizzes on the internet that had to do with Sweeney Todd, and it was just "Epiphany" after "Epiphany". It was weird. I mean, I'm NOT depressed and I'm NOT about to kill about 4 billion people just because of what one person did. I did some "What Sweeney Todd Character are you?" quizzes also, and it was always Sweeney, except for this one that was only female characters, so I got Mrs. Lovett... It's freaking me out a little bit. :/ ------------------ Sweet Oz! IP: Logged
